“…As porous charcoal adsorb water similar to soil strata (Pietikainen et al 2000), those fungi hidden within partially charred woody litter will be benefitted. During postfire conditions, significant decrease in mycorrhizal species was seen in Cistus and Pinus plots of Spain (Martín-Pinto et al 2006), corroborating with the present study. The control region of scrub jungle consists of seven ( Amanita angustilamellata, Geastrum triplex, Hygrocybe astatogala, H .…”

Fortnightly survey in control and fire-impacted regions of scrub jungle of south-west coast of India during south-west monsoon (50 m2 quadrats up to 10 weeks) yielded 34 and 25 species of macrofungi, respectively. The species as well as sporocarp richness were the highest during the fourth week, while the diversity attained the highest during the second week in control region. In fire-impacted region, the species and sporocarp richness and diversity peaked at sixth week. Seven species common to both regions were Chlorophyllum molybdites, Lepiota sp., Leucocoprinus birnbaumii, Marasmius sp. 3, Polyporus sp., Schizophyllum commune and Tetrapyrgos nigripes. The overall sporocarp richness was higher in fire-impacted than in control region. The Jaccard’s similarity between regions was 13.5%, while fortnights of regions ranged from 0% (10th week) to 11.7% (eighth week). Control region showed single-species dominance by Xylaria hypoxylon, while multispecies dominance by Cyathus striatus and Lentinus squarrosulus in fire-impacted region. Except for air temperature, nine abiotic factors significantly differed between control and fire-impacted regions. The Pearson correlation was positive between species richness and phosphorus content in fire-impacted region (r = 0.696), while sporocarp richness was negatively correlated with pH in control region (r = −0.640). Economically viable species were 12 and 10 without overlap in control and fire-impacted regions, respectively.

“…Our results are in agreement with a large body of research on Mediterranean dry forests (de Román & Miguel, 2005, Martín-Pinto et al, 2006b, Buscardo et al, 2010, Hernández-Rodríguez et al, 2013 and specifically with some studies conducted also with P. pinaster (Buscardo et al, 2011, Gassibe et al, 2011, Sousa et al, 2011. Nonetheless, the overall evidence in this field cannot be considered as conclusive yet.…”

“…Many studies report large shifts in species abundances, decreases in diversity, large losses in ECM sporocarp production, and even complete loss of ectomycorrhizal species after severe fires (Grogan et al, 2000, Treseder et al, 2004, Martín-Pinto et al, 2006b, Gassibe et al, 2011. For example, Dahlberg et al (2001) stablished a link between different fire severities and survival of mycorrhizal flora, after four months of prescribed burning in a Scandinavian boreal forest.…”

“…P. pinaster is also an obligate mutualist with ectomycorrhizal fungi and normal growth does not occur without them (Smith & Read 1997, Read, 1998. Given its ecological relevance and intimate relationship between forest fires and fungi, P. pinaster has been the focus of several studies in Mediterranean areas on how does fire affect fungal communities, as seen by the decrease in richness, diversity and production of ECM sporocarps as a product of wildfires (Martín-Pinto et al, 2006b, Gassibe et al, 2011. Also several studies (Buscardo et al, 2010, Rincón & Pueyo 2010, Rincón et al 2014 have found that wildfires influence the structure of ectomycorrhizal fungal communities associated with P. pinaster, showing that some fungal groups are potentially fire-adapted (Rincón et al, 2014).…”

Aim of the study: Mycorrhizal fungi in Mediterranean forests play a key role in the complex process of recovery after wildfires. A broader understanding of an important pyrophytic species as Pinus pinaster and its fungal symbionts is thus necessary for forest restoration purposes. This study aims to assess the effects of ectomycorrhizal symbiosis on maritime pine seedlings and how fire severity affects fungal colonization ability.Area of study: Central Spain, in a Mediterranean region typically affected by wildfires dominated by Pinus pinaster, a species adapted to fire disturbance.Material and Methods: We studied P. pinaster root apexes from seedlings grown in soils collected one year after fire in undisturbed sites, sites moderately affected by fire and sites highly affected by fire. Natural ectomycorrhization was observed at the whole root system level as well as at two root vertical sections (0-10 cm and 10-20 cm). We also measured several morphometric traits (tap root length, shoot length, dry biomass of shoots and root/shoot ratio), which were used to test the influence of fire severity and soil chemistry upon them.Main results: Ectomycorrhizal colonization in undisturbed soils for total and separated root vertical sections was higher than in soils that had been affected by fire to some degree. Inversely, seedling vegetative size increased according to fire severity.Research highlights: Fire severity affected soil properties and mycorrhizal colonization one year after occurrence, thus affecting plant development. These findings can contribute to a better knowledge of the factors mediating successful establishment of P. pinaster in Mediterranean forests after wildfires.Keywords: Wildfire; mycorrhizal fungi; Maritime pine; bioassay.

“…Interestingly, B. edulis species have recently been reported to occur in Cistus ladanifer L. shrublands in Northwest Spain (Oria-de-Rueda et al 2005;Martín-Pinto et al 2006). This finding is very relevant because sporocarp production occurs as early as in 3-year-old C. ladanifer shrubs, and high yields have been reported in 8-year-old plants (Oria-de-Rueda et al 2008).…”

Boletus edulis Bull. is one of the most economically and gastronomically valuable fungi worldwide. Sporocarp production normally occurs when symbiotically associated with a number of tree species in stands over 40 years old, but it has also been reported in 3-year-old Cistus ladanifer L. shrubs. Efforts toward the domestication of B. edulis have thus focused on successfully generating C. ladanifer seedlings associated with B. edulis under controlled conditions. Microorganisms have an important role mediating mycorrhizal symbiosis, such as some bacteria species which enhance mycorrhiza formation (mycorrhiza helper bacteria). Thus, in this study, we explored the effect that mycorrhiza helper bacteria have on the efficiency and intensity of the ectomycorrhizal symbiosis between C. ladanifer and B. edulis. The aim of this work was to optimize an in vitro protocol for the mycorrhizal synthesis of B. edulis with C. ladanifer by testing the effects of fungal culture time and coinoculation with the helper bacteria Pseudomonas fluorescens Migula. The results confirmed successful mycorrhizal synthesis between C. ladanifer and B. edulis. Coinoculation of B. edulis with P. fluorescens doubled within-plant mycorrhization levels although it did not result in an increased number of seedlings colonized with B. edulis mycorrhizae. B. edulis mycelium culture time also increased mycorrhization levels but not the presence of mycorrhizae. These findings bring us closer to controlled B. edulis sporocarp production in plantations.
